The network has pulled an episode of Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy from websites in the wake of an unauthorized viral parody clip that surfaced Tuesday which joked about the Boston Marathon bombings.

Per Reuters, a Fox rep confirmed that the episode in question, "Turban Cowboy," has been yanked from both the network's site and Hulu, and that execs have reached out to YouTube to remove the episode from its video hub.

The original episode had depicted the show's family patriarch, Peter Griffin, winning the Boston marathon, but the altered clip stitched together an unrelated scene toward the end of the episode in which the character inadvertently sets off several explosions after dialing a number on his cell phone.

Immediately after it surfaced, MacFarlane took to Twitter to condemn the hoax video.

"The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent," he wrote. "The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims."
